Romin Heide has a new line of [household products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dpartment) called ‘Undefined Objects.’

Romin Heide took a unique approach when it came to designing his [line of appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soom). Rather than giving them a specific purpose, Heide feels that the user should define how the objects are used. With that freedom, he believes that it creates a [special relationship between man and object](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/massproductions-x-arket). While the products from ‘Undefined Objects’ may look simple, Roman Heide has put a lot of thought behind its inception.
